Summary
This study looks at whether letting young boys (ages 3-7) ride a toy car into the operating room instead of being wheeled on a stretcher can lower their anxiety before surgery and reduce confusion after waking up. About 96 children having their tonsils or adenoids removed will take part. The goal is to find a simple, fun way to make the hospital experience less stressful for kids.
